Description

In this episode, I explore the critical—but often overlooked—role of conscious effort in behavior change. While habits and automation are powerful tools, every shift begins with a conscious choice. This is the episode that reclaims willpower as your launchpad, not your enemy.


What You'll Learn:

  • Why conscious effort is essential in the early phase of change

  • What the science really says about willpower and “ego depletion”

  • How mindset influences your ability to stick with behavior change

    • Tools to strengthen your mental muscle for better decision-making
